easton: very durable rims, external nipples but shitty hubs, round spokes, zipp:probably better aerodynamics, less durable rims, shitty hubs...i'd take the easton and whenever you're fed up with changing bearings relace them to a set of dt hubs with aerolite spokes...

Great info. Speaking of DT, they have a few sets on sale as well. How is the RRC425F/525R wheelset? They are about CAD $300 more than the Zipp. I'm fine with spending a bit extra dough to get a light, quality set of wheels.

I had a pair of SLX's for a season 2 years ago, the rims were fine, the hubs were terrible. Not sure if mine were a bad pair but the rear hub had alot of play in it out of the box. I couldn't tighten them without compressing the bearings so much that the wheel would freeze. Just a very poor design IMO. Not sure if they have changed since but I have no desire to buy another pair to find out.
